    Snippet: The age distribution of cats tested between 1996 and 2011 was strongly skewed towards young animals, with >40% of all cats tested being under 1 year old. This distribution was expected, as it was assumed that the vast majority of the samples sent to the university were part of routine prevaccination screening. However, in 1996, and 2008-2010, cats <1 year of age also made up the largest proportion of FeLV antigenaemic individuals. It could be hyp.....
    Document: The age distribution of cats tested between 1996 and 2011 was strongly skewed towards young animals, with >40% of all cats tested being under 1 year old. This distribution was expected, as it was assumed that the vast majority of the samples sent to the university were part of routine prevaccination screening. However, in 1996, and 2008-2010, cats <1 year of age also made up the largest proportion of FeLV antigenaemic individuals. It could be hypothesised that this is due to the fact that younger cats at an early stage in the disease process may be more likely to be antigen-positive than older cats. Hofmann-Lehmann et al determined that 10% of the cats tested in their Swiss population (n = 597) were FeLV provirus positive, in spite of a negative ELISA result. 21 The proportion of FeLV-antigenaemic animals older than 5 years of age remained below 10% for all periods in the current study.
